Low-Carb Roasted Italian Sausage & Sweet Peppers

Do you like sausages? I know I do! I don’t eat a lot of meat, but the smell of sausages cooking is one of my weaknesses. I’ve traveled quite a lot over the years and I’m always amazed to discover that almost every country I visit has its own national sausage.

From England to Spain to France to Germany to Italy, each country stuffs meat and spices into a skin, often made from animal intestines, and each one is delicious.

Some sausages are loaded with fillers such as wheat but, if you seek out good quality sausages, you should be able to find some high meat, carb and gluten-free sausages that are not only tasty but very diet friendly too.

This is one of my favorite dinners and I’m sure you’ll love it too.
